TI  - The Effectiveness of Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Scale: A Psychometric Study
AB  - The purpose of the present study was to develop a psychometrically robust measure to evaluate the effectiveness of psychoanalytic psychotherapy and psychoanalysis, entitled as the "Effectiveness of Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Scale [EPPS]". This scale was designed to assess the changes experienced by patients/analysands who undergo psychoanalytic psychotherapy or psychoanalysis. A sample of 216 individuals above the age of 18 who had been continuing their own psychoanalytic psychotherapy or psychoanalysis for at least three months participated in the study. The participants were given EPPS along with the other measures such as the Reassurance-Seeking Scale, The Satisfaction with Life Scale, and The Positive and Negative Affect Schedule. Factor structure of the EPPS and its reliability and validity coefficients were examined. Several analyses including reliability analysis, exploratory factor analysis, hierarchical regression analyses and MANOVA were conducted to confirm EPPS's factor structure and psychometric strength. Obtained results suggested that EPPS is a psychometrically sound measure to evaluate the effectiveness of psychoanalytic work.
